Chris Newman
Why I'm standing
I stand for free speech, localism and direct democracy whereby the people rule. These kiwi traditions are trashed by the party political establishment. So people like me feel compelled to stand for our principles, otherwise, the bullies and deceivers of this world have a monopoly on power. I volunteer for free speech based community groups and endorse the virtues of honesty, integrity and accountability in public life. This is my offering to the electorate people.
About me
I have the maturity and experience of raising a family, living 25 years internationally and working in many occupations. So I can understand the practice and theory of government, politics, business and representation. Since 1978 I have lived in Auckland (except for years overseas) and know much of the history, people and issues. I offer you a depth of insight and the courage to represent your best interests over the agenda of the establishment.
My priorities
- Introduce the people's binding referenda to direct the representatives to follow your requirements.
- Maintain social and environmental quality of Rodney's healthy community lifestyle, the plan to win.
- Uniting our communities, to maintain the sane child-centred lifestyle that is best for all of us.
